Baker warns a true DRAM capacity cycle could see prices increase 10X, not the typical 30-50%.
“If the price of DRAM, if like a DRAM wafer is valued at like a five carat diamond.”
Memory bottlenecks create severe performance penalties, with a thirty-eight times slowdown when data operations exceed available DRAM capacity.
““38x slowdown once shuffle data exceeds available DRAM and spills to SSD.” From a joint Micron/Meta white paper. The DRAM bottleneck almost certainly lasts the longest. OP from @jukan05”
